I’m Back…hopefully.

Hello friends, as usual I have taken a hiatus and am now back with the new year! What can I say? Working/mom life got the best of me these past couple of years and my passion for writing was once again put on hold. Why is it so hard for me to give a little…

I hope you enjoy some glimpses of her big day! The next few posts I’ll be going into more detail about the specifics from that day, so stay tuned…

Date Night? #blogcember day 16

Before Ali and I became parents and somewhat responsible adults, our favourite thing to do together was to go out for midnight dessert dates.

Happy Friday! – #blogcember day 14

The Last Time – #blogcember day 13

Today I wanted to share this poem I recently read. It really made me realize how children grow in a blink of an eye. They are always progressing from one stage to the next. We get so excited to see them grow and become so independent, that sometimes we forget the little lovable habits they…
